NCLT Admits SBI Plea to Initiate Personal Insolvency Proceedings Against Anil Ambani
The National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) has admitted the State Bank of India's plea to initiate personal insolvency proceedings against Anil Ambani, seeking recovery of over Rs 1,200 crore. SBI alleges Ambani personally guaranteed loans taken by Reliance Communications, which entered Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process in 2019. Ambani's spokesperson disputes the guarantee's validity, citing its timing before personal insolvency laws and denying personal benefit. The detailed NCLT order is awaited.
